MY TOP TEN FAVORITE SLOW-BURN ROMANCES

As you all probably know by now, I am an unapologetic shipper. I ship all the things. In fiction as well as in real life. I just can’t help myself. I enjoy romance when it’s not sappy and ridiculously cheesy.

So when I found out that this week’s TTT was a romance trope freebie, I was ecstatic. I GET TO TALK ABOUT MY FAVORITE KIND OF ROMANCE TROPE! THE SLOW BURNS!* HECK YES.

Anyway, here’s my list.

1. Darcy and Elizabeth

Okay, I know they’re technically a hate to love trope, but I count Dizzie as a slow burn trope because they took freakin’ FOREVER to realize that the crackling intensity between them was A T T R A C T I O N. Fight me.

Who’s surprised to see these two here? lmao

2. Kaz Brekker and Inej Ghafa

So pure, so innocent. Just thinking about these two ruins me. My heart is literally slamming against my chest and crying a million tears. Like, I can’t. I shall be Kanej trash for all eternity.

COD: These two. Every damn day.

3. Art and Kat

10+ years of this damned webcomic and these two STILL haven’t gotten together. I mean, why? Why must they be so BLIND. (Yes, yes I know one of them is an anthro cat. I’m weird. Leave me alone)

okay, so they’re webcomic characters. That still counts.

4. Agnieszka and The Dragon

The relationship between willful, bumbly Agnieszka and grumpy, snarky Sarkhan is something I will always cherish because omg these two are so cute and I can’t.

Oh my gosh, I love like all of these. I love Veronica and Logan. I love how organic it was, but kind of hate how we never really got to see them together for a long period of time before the writers decided to throw a wrench into their relationship. All the Six of Crow couples are fantastic. I can talk forever about each of them. Nothing beats Elizabeth and Darcy, I will love them forever. Great list!
